From Electric Light (2018). Electric Light is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter James Bay, released on 18 May 2018 by Virgin EMI. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for James Bay's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "Pink Lemonade" Tone

The guitar on "Pink Lemonade" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Epiphone Casino above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Pink Lemonade" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Pink Lemonade" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
